Take Care of Yourself, So You Can Take Care of Others

From the moment they arrive, your kids become your number-one priority. We all know it, and there’s nothing wrong with that — but it sometimes causes you to neglect yourself.

Here’s the thing: Taking a break and treating yourself is absolutely necessary for a healthy body and mind. Moms need to remember to take care of themselves — and yes, sometimes even spoil themselves — so they can properly take care of their children. BOTOX COSMETIC® treatments here in London, Ontario (or another treatment at the medical spa) are sometimes all the R&R you need to look and feel rejuvenated. And by the way, you deserve it.

Why Your Skin Needs Attention

Long nights of staying up with a crying baby, followed by even longer days filled with work, chauffeuring your children, and putting food on the table can take a toll on the body, and the skin can be the first telltale sign. Without the proper rest time, your skin can lose moisture, and you can develop dark circles and under-eye bags when you stay up too late. Nightly sleep is the allotted time for brain, body, and skin to repair and renew itself, and lack of sleep robs the body of that opportunity.

Stress can exacerbate things, too. When you are stressed, your body releases the hormone cortisol. This release creates a domino effect that eventually attacks healthy skin cells and causes wrinkles and breakouts.

What You Can Do About It

If you feel that stress is causing you wrinkles, or you just want to look more refreshed, I suggest talking to a dermatologist about BOTOX. It can help smooth forehead wrinkles and soften lines around the eyes. The treatments typically take less than 15 minutes and require no downtime or recovery. This is perfect for a busy mom with 1,000 things on her checklist for the day.

Many medical spas also carry JUVÉDERM® here in London, Ontario, which can be a great option to fight back against sunken skin and other skin issues. JUVÉDERM products are facial fillers that can help regain volume in the face and give you a natural-looking youthful complexion.

Being a mom is hectic; you are entitled to doing things that are just for you. Getting BOTOX or dermal fillers can help you build confidence to tackle the day. Looking your best can give you that extra push to accomplish everything in your jam-packed agenda.

This is a sponsored post, and as such I have been compensated. My opinion is all my own and it is also truthful.

I’ve been seriously considering fillers for a while now. I’ve been breaking out like crazy this year, thanks to the end-of-year family stress. And absolutely agree that we need to take care of our health so that we can care for others when they’re in need. I may or may not have been forwarding my husband gift card specials from my favourite spas as a hint of what would be a great gift for Christmas this year. 😉

Thanks for the push hun! I think I’ll be making an appointment now! <3

This is such a great reminder. So often we tend to put ourselves on the back burner as we focus on raising our family’s. It is so important to also find thG me time to take care of ourselves, and necessary even.

I actually kind of want to do this for the little wrinkles on my forehead. I absolutely dislike them a ton. I noticed even my sister who is 6 years younger than me has them too, and I never really noticed I had them until recently. So I wonder if I’ve had them long or not.

One of the big things I want to do is a tummy tuck/skin removal. After five kids I have a lot of loose belly skin.

This is very important advice. I lost myself taking care of my Mom and then trying to just be a parent to my son after she died. I almost didn’t make it out alive. We always need to step back and MAKE time for ourselves.
